(KNZA)--It's Thanksgiving, with many of us spending time with family and loved ones, enjoying the traditional holiday meal.

Another tradition, following the end of Thanksgiving, is the unofficial start of the Christmas season.

Local communities will follow that standard by holding celebrations, complete with Santa Claus, tomorrow evening.

That includes the City of Seneca where “Santa's Magic On Mainstreet” will be held.
